How to Visit
1

Use it as an easy add-on route

Ten-Mile Gallery sits in the Suoxiyu area and works well as a half-day or end-of-day section.

Tip:It is not the most dramatic Zhangjiajie scenery, but it is a useful, low-effort valley route for visitors who do not want more climbing.
2

Take the shuttle from Wulingyuan East Gate

If you are staying in Wulingyuan or entering from the East Gate, Ten-Mile Gallery is convenient. After entering, take the scenic-area shuttle bus to the Ten-Mile Gallery entrance.

Tip:Then choose between walking, the mini-train, or one-way train plus one-way walk.
3

Choose one-way mini-train plus one-way walk if possible

The Ten-Mile Gallery sightseeing mini-train costs extra and is useful for saving energy, but a round trip by train can feel too quick and thin.

Tip:A better balance is to take the mini-train one way and walk the other way, giving you time to see formations such as Old Man Gathering Herbs and Three Sisters Peak.
4

Do not force the Tianzi Mountain climb if time is tight

Some routes continue from Ten-Mile Gallery up toward Tianzi Mountain, but that adds a lot of stairs and physical effort.

Tip:For most visitors, Ten-Mile Gallery works better as an easy lower-level route rather than the start of a demanding mountain climb.
5

Avoid queues and monkey trouble

During holidays, both the mini-train and shuttle buses can have queues, so keep buffer time in the plan.

Tip:Monkeys may also appear near Ten-Mile Gallery, especially around crowds and food. Keep snacks and belongings secured.
Highlights
  • Ten-Mile Gallery is a lower-level valley route that helps slow down a Zhangjiajie itinerary.
  • Formations such as Old Man Gathering Herbs, Three Sisters Peak, and Peacock Spreading Its Tail are more enjoyable when you walk and look for them gradually.
  • The mini-train saves energy for older visitors, children, or travelers who are already tired.
  • It is convenient from Wulingyuan East Gate and can pair with Tianzi Mountain, Baofeng Lake, or Huanglong Cave depending on the day.
  • If you already feel saturated by mountain viewpoints, Ten-Mile Gallery can work as an easier finish instead of another high-intensity route.
Insider Tips

✦Ten-Mile Gallery is part of the core scenic area, but the sightseeing mini-train costs extra.

✦If your budget is tight and you still have enough energy, walking the whole route is fine. If you want to save effort, a one-way train is usually better value than a round trip.

✦Do not expect Ten-Mile Gallery to be Zhangjiajie's most impressive scenery. Treat it as a light valley route and supporting stop.

✦After rain, stone paths and steps can be slippery, so do not look up at the peaks while walking on wet sections.

✦During holidays, if the mini-train queue is long, walking may actually save time.
